I've started making a skeletal dragon portrait, hopefully it will be good enough for the mainline. I've made this to show everyone what I'm doing, this is what I've done so far. It's just the outline currently but I will finish it, probably not soon though but depending on how much time i put into doing this it may be finished soon. If anyone wants to help feel free with advice for portraits (this is my first, I've never made one from scratch).

You're right, a portrait for the skeletal dragon would be pretty cool. However, drawing this thing will be challenging. It might not be the best project to pick as a first attempt.

I'd suggest working with some UMC author to see if you can fill some gap, maybe editing an existing portrait (by drawing, not cut-paste-cleanup). You can use the rest of the image to compare with your own shading.

I don't mean to be discouraging, but Kitty and LordBob have raised the bar very high for portraits. If you do want to persist, you should probably rely heavily on a good reference image, such as of a dinosaur skeleton display. Really invest some time on finding that reference image.

It's been a while and I've thought of doing more of this photo a little more. There may be lines that are different than the old ones, that is because I've only just thought of using the sketch pad thing for this instead of a mouse
Also the arrows mean where the light will be lighting from. This is kind of a draft more than anything in a way, I'm thinking of making the (new) bones thicker.
